Things NOT to do on your first day on the job...appear in a PR photo with your new employer while wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with the logo of its nemesis. 

Nike Punk'd Adidas - punk

Bayern Munich is one of Adidas' top endorsed football clubs, and their new hot-shot midfielder -- Mario Goetze -- sported a Nike T-shirt during his first press conference as a Bayern Munich player on Tuesday. It wasn't even a shirt with a subtle Nike logo on the sleeve or the upper right crest. It was a massive, borderline obnoxious, full-frontal Nike assault.

You can bet that someone at Adidas got fired over that miss.
